The Stockyards Smokehouse & Larder

This was once a busy, hip, happening, urban jewel of a place with big servers and a young crowd! They would be lined out of the door on Saturday at 6:00. But since Covid 19 it has become a run of the mill... take off joint. There is a very small dining area in the front window, but the rest of the dining area is closed and they do not seem interested in opening it again. The food wasn't as good as before COVID. The Fried Chicken was too dry and overcooked. The Fritten were absolutely DISGUSTING! Dry salty and boiled over. On the bright side were the Coleslaw and the old-fashioned Soda-Pop AMAZING! NOT WORTH OF THE DRIVE OF ETOBICOKE ANYMORE!!! We will not return!

Great place for lunch. Large porcetta and roasted chicken. Despite the greasy soil, it is the place to go for a healthy, fulfilling meal. Sure will come back.

Service was great. The taste was great. Only what I would have changed would be to have boneless chicken.

Okay, we shouldn't eat roasted chicken, but if you do that occasionally, this would be where you want to eat it. Crispy, delicate, moist and delicious dipped into the hot sauce. Biscuits good too. Great, friendly, service, too.

Went specifically for their chicken and it was worth the trip! Crispy and juicy with great flavour. Likely one of the best in the city.
